Table 1
Selected Economic Variables, 1916-1920
1916 1917 1918 1919 1920
1. Industrial production (1916 =100) 100 132 139 137 108
2. Revenues of the federal government (millions of dollars) $930 2,373 4,388 5,889 6,110
3. Expenditures of the federal government (millions of dollars) $1,333 7,316 15,585 12,425 5,710
4. Army and Navy spending (millions of dollars) $477 3,383 8,580 6,685 2,063
5. Stock of money, M2 (billions of dollars) $20.7 24.3 26.2 30.7 35.1
6. GNP deflator (1916 =100) 100 120 141 160 185
7. Gross National Product (GNP) (billions of dollars) $46.0 55.1 69.7 77.2 87.2
8. Real GNP (billions of 1916 dollars) $46.0 46.0 49.6 48.1 47.1
9. Average annual earnings per full-time manufacturing employee (1916 dollars) $751 748 802 813 828
Military forces 1916 - 1919
Military personnel (millions) .174 .835 2.968 1.266
Always have issues cut and pasting tables. Anyway army and navy spending wend from 477 mm in 1916 to 8.580 b in 1918. Army grew from 174,000 in 1916 to 835,000 in 1917 to 2.968 mm in 1918.
Population :
Canada 7.2 mm
USA 76.2 mm
So the USA would
1. 1914 build up overwhelming force (1916). Cut Canada in half and take over Vancouver, and perhaps Calgary or Edmonton to cut east west rail lines.
2. Massive naval build up and art. (the USA could have easily built up their forces on this however they did not need to do this as easier to use Allied material in France vs shipping)
3. GB cannot protect the Canadian coasts in that the RN needed to protect the channel against the German fleet.
4 Overwhelm Canada by 16 - 17 after picking off the Caribbean
5. If war goes on in 17 -19 then USA army exceeds 6 - 8 mm troops and much larger fleet, so Canada cannot win. Anyway before this happens GB and France go bankrupt
